2008 Ideas List

These are suggestions. Students are encouraged to come up with their own ideas as well.

1. Implement GeoPNG/GeoJPEG by embedding coordinate system and geotransformation information (possibly in GML) as chunks in PNG and JPEG files (see GML JP2 for a model of how this might be done).
   • ​GMLJP2 Specification
   • GMLJP2 Code: ​gdaljp2metadata.cpp ​gdalgmlcoverage.cpp
2. ​PNG Driver (using libpng)
   • ​JPEG Driver (using libjpeg)
3. OGR WFS read (or read/write) driver using existing OGR GML driver for feature parsing.
   • ​OGC WFS Specification
   • ​OGR Driver Tutorial
4. Develop a driver for GeoRSS
   • ​GeoRSS specification
